After finishing her shower and dressing in one of Inuyasha's large red t-shirts, that fell just below her knees, Kagome made her way down stairs. Her wavy ebony hair was down and still damp from her shower.

Her footsteps were soft and she appeared to surprise even Inuyasha who was on the couch watching some football, Miroku was no where to be found.

"Thanks for letting me borrow your shirt."

"Eh, no problem Kagome. Keep it."

"Thanks." She grinned, as she sat next to him.

Inuyasha used the remote control to dim the lights.

"What else can that thing do?" Kagome asked, cocking her head to the side and smiling.

"Well it can do this." Inuyasha laughed, pressing a red triangular button, turning the fireplace on, "And this." He smiled, pressing a square blue button which caused the blinds to automatically cascade down the windows.

"Can it make dinner?" Kagome joked.

"No." He admitted, his right hand scratching the back of his head.

"But I can."

He sat up and made his way to the kitchen. "What are you making?"

"How about some steamed vegetables and rice?"

"Can I help?" Kagome felt like a toddler who wanted to help her mommy make a meal.

"Sure. I'll grab the ingredients. You can grab the pans." They were hanging above an island countertop and not too difficult to find.

"Here. Cut some of these." Inuyasha instructed, handing her some carrots.

"Okay." Kagome chirped, as she set to work. "Done." She smiled at her handiwork.

"Good job." The way Inuyasha said it so genuinely made her heart skip a beat. It was such a stark difference from the sarcastic bossy Inuyasha that she had met at the mall. Shaking here head Kagome walked over to Inuyasha.

"Okay, so stir the rice."

She took the spoon and began to stir.

"Here." He smiled, coming up behind her, guiding her hand. "You want to go just a bit slower."

Inuyasha only stopped to add more vegetables.

"Smells great."

"You did great." Inuyasha complimented.

They grabbed their food and made their way to the couch. They ate quickly and quietly. Kagome began to nod off.

"Tired?"

"Just a bit." She smiled sleepily.

She leaned on his shoulder just slightly but had soon ended up on his lap. Clutching the bottom of his t-shirt. He pushed the stray hairs on her face behind her ear, and continued to watch the game.

"Home." Miroku stated as he and Sango walked in arm in arm.

"Keh. Took you long enough."

"What it's only like twelve?"

"Correction: it was twelve, two hours ago."

Sango was now on her knees, with one hand on Kagome's shoulder, "Kagome. It's time to wake up dear." Kagome replied by clutching onto Inuyasha tighter.

"What have you two been up to?" Miroku raised his eyebrow knowingly, a harmless gesture that Sango caught.

"You perv." Sango rose ahand and smacked him hard on the back of the head.

"You deserved that one bro." Inuyasha laughed, "Has he tried to grab your ass yet?"

"Only once or twice." She shot Miroku another look.

"He must really like you." An amused Inuyasha replied.

"Why don't you stay for the night? We have plenty of spare bedrooms and I'm sure Miroku will let you borrow a shirt."

Sango stood there thinking for a long time.

"Besides," he smiled innocently, "you've had a bit to drink and you should sleep it off here."

Sango finally agreed and made her way up the stairs.

"Night Sango!"

"Night Inuyasha!"

"Good night Kagome." He whispered quietly.

She only smiled in response.
